The 15-floor high, 68,000-seater Green Point Stadium will host eight 2010 FIFA World Cup matches, including a quarter-final and semi-final. The arena is on track to be completed by 14 December 2009.
The inner ring of the roof structure was successfully raised and installed mid-February 2009. The 4,500-ton roof, which includes some 9,000 individual pieces that make up the glass surface, is scheduled for completion in September 2009. The roof design is a world first and meets a number of strict environmental and technical requirements.
